The Nightrunners music is mostly in the Shadows vein, but there are a couple of surfable instros along with a couple of refined actual surf covers. As these kinds of bands go, this is on the high side of the equation from a surf perspective.

"Katjusha" features a damped lead on some verses, and a more surfable lead line than the Hank Marvin guitar sound usually delivers. Bouncy and affirmative.

Idylle

Rock (Instrumental)

Echoed guitar delivers a very Euro melody riff over a soft rock backtrack. Not particularly interesting, though you could draw similarities between "Idylle" and some String-a-longs tracks.

Banzai

Rock (Instrumental)

Not a hint of surf here as the Nightrunners do a very Shadowsy instro. Echoed guitar and soft rock backing.

Black Magic

Surfable Rock (Instrumental)

Acoustic guitar backs this damped echoed guitar track. Playful and bouncy, and squarely in the UK mold. The infectious lead is quite fun, and "Black Magic" is a very satisfying track.

Peace Pipe

Rock (Instrumental)

The Shadows' "Peace Pipe" is softly and reverently done. Nothing special or personalized about this cover.

Skogsblomman

Surfable MOR Rock (Instrumental)

"Skogsblomman" is a slowish sad gypsy kinda tune with a prom-stroll backtrack. While pretty and scenic, it's also a little on the MOR side. Still, it's quite nice.

The Ripper

Rock (Instrumental)

Big Shadows echo twang and a bumpin' backbeat. Tastefully done, but not very energetic.

Penetration

Surf (Instrumental)

Delicate and rhythmic, and played with a refined restraint, the Pyramids' classic "Penetration" has seldom been done with less energy. OK, but it's also quite enjoyable in this more subdued arrangement.

Igelkottaskinnet

Rock (Instrumental)

An acoustic guitar backs the echoed lead on this tune. The melody is a little on the folksy side, bouncy and flippant.

Moonlight Walk

MOR Rock (Instrumental)

"Moonlight Walk" is slow and damped, and twangy. Echoed guitar plays a friendly if flyweight melody line over a delicate backtrack. Verges on MOR.

Pipeline

Surf (Instrumental)

Chantays' definitive "Pipeline" is very dryly effected, like a cross between the Shadows and waves. Soft and refined, yet quite nice, like a warm afternoon version of the original. The arrangement is pretty darn close to the source less the piano. Quite nice.
